New Century Version NCV
English Standard Version ESV
1 Lord our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth! It brings you praise in heaven above.
1
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 You have taught children and babies to sing praises to you because of your enemies. And so you silence your enemies and destroy those who try to get even.
2
Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
3 I look at your heavens, which you made with your fingers. I see the moon and stars, which you created.
3
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 But why are people important to you? Why do you take care of human beings?
4
what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
5 You made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
5
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You put them in charge of everything you made. You put all things under their control:
6
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,
7 all the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals,
7
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that lives under water.
8
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 Lord our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth! For the director of music. To the tune of "The Death of the Son." A psalm of David.
9
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
